I Love Jesus...

My mother-in-love showed me this You Tube video this past weekend and I just had to share it. We laughed and laughed and laughed...

Remember to pause the music at the bottom of my blog before playing the video.

Is that not the funniest thing EVER ??? I love old people...they always tell the truth :)
